    Von Neumann Architecture

    The document discusses the von Neumann architecture, which is a design model for stored-program digital computers that uses a single processing unit and storage structure to hold both instructions and data. A key aspect is the stored-program concept where a computer stores both its programmed instructions and data in read-write random access memory, as opposed to earlier computers that were programmed by manually setting switches and inserting leads. This von Neumann architecture became the dominant design for modern computers to use the same memory for both storing data and program instructions.

    History
    Stored concept
    VON NEUMANN ARCHITECTURE

    • The von Neumann architecture is a design


    model for a stored-program digital computer
    that uses a processing unit and a single
    separate storage structure to hold both
    instructions and data.
    Stored Program Concepts
    • A stored-program digital computer is one that keeps its
    programmed instructions, as well as its data, in
    read-write, random access memory (RAM). Stored-
    program computers were an advancement over the
    program-controlled computers of the 1940s, such as the
    Colossus and the ENIAC, which were programmed by
    setting switches and inserting patch leads to route data
    and to control signals between various functional units.
    In the vast majority of modern computers, the same
    memory is used for both data and program instructions.
